12. What things did you get from this course that will benefit you personally?

The most valuable lesson I learned from this course is probably what I
learned from Dr. Cheah indirectly, not necessarily plant tissue culture
related. Sure I learned much about this field, but Dr. Cheah has a very
business oriented mind. I don't agree with most of her philosophy toward
learning/teaching, I expected much more from an upper division course.
Never the less, the hands on experience is ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY to
effectively learn aseptic technique, proper planning, working smart (not
hard), and managing one's time efficiently. My only gripe is that there
should be some prerequisites, or at least a few homework assignments (even
just to jog memories) so that students are not totally unprepared to
convert units and work independently. Overall, I benefited from this
course by learning a very broad range of plant tissue culture related
information. There was lots of material covered, but it was lightly
covered. I'd say that it was covered sufficiently though. The hands on
portion is the meat and potatoes, we should have started working in the
hood, cutting up plants, calculating media, etc STARTING DAY 1 (or day 2)..

Not only did I find a passion for tissue culture by taking this course, but I also gained necessary skills
and direction that will help me shape my career path as a plant scientist/business manager.

Just fine. I LOVE small classes and when the entire class can sit together
on a single table the benefits are huge. Everyone is friendly and ideas,
really good ideas are exchanged very freely. It is different in large
classes. With a class like this, one that involves lots of time/planning,
individual attention, and hands on experience based learning, a small class
is necessary.

The tissue culture lab is the coolest lab that i've been in. Not only is it super productive, but it is also
extremely clean, neat, and well organized. I would describe it as the perfect learning environment.

28. Other comments:

Excellent course, there should be a certificate available for Plant Tissue
culture.

I feel extremely fortunate to have had the opportunity to take this class.

Dr. Cheah's invaluable experience.

The entire process of this class incredibly impacted my life. It gave me the
opportunity/forced me evaluate my life and my goals. The exercises gave me a
tangible exercise for processing my thoughts and assessing my behaviours. I
had never had a real chance to take a look at what I was doing and what I
really wanted to do.

More exercises during class. Less talking. More examples on students previous
exams.

Maybe shorter class duration.

This course, if offered again, would be incredibly valuable early in the
academic process. I wish I had had the opportunity to take this course when I
entered the department. It would have been a great lead in to taking the
internship 1 credit course (although, that class would be more effective as a
half semester, as the syllabus only half involves internships, but I
digress).

28. Other comments:

I enjoyed this class very much and appreciate all the time and effort that
was put into this class. This class has helped in both my academics and
personal life

Thank you for taking us shopping! I'm so grateful for all the knowledge I've
learned over this semester. I've learned so much about myself and how to do
things to better myself and my productivity.

very helpful class

This class was amazing. It changed the way I run my life, and improved how I
handle things.

All students should take this course! If I had taken this as a freshman I would have graduated already!

More Chi-Kong exercises.

Dr. Cheah should set up a sign-in sheet at the beginning of the course for one-on-one
consultations as it seemed like surrounding the mid-terms suddenly all the students wanted some
extra help; therefore, for organizational purposes if meetings were pre-determined from the
beginning this would help students better prepare for the mid-term and achieve the course
objectives.

Awesome teacher. Taught the class as well as myself many applicable things we can use in our daily
lives. This course helped prepare me for after graduation. Dr. Cheah was enthusiastic about the
course and reminded students to pursue their passion. What a teacher and what a class. I highly
recommend this course to students and faculty alike.

Dr. Cheah is a very effective teacher. There was a mid course evaluation by the University in which
as a class we evaluated the course to date and also provided feedback on how instruction could be
improved. Soon after that evaluation, it was apparent the changes Dr. Cheah made in her lectures
and presentations to account for this feedback; therefore, it is clear that she is truly teaching for
the best interest of the students so that we can learn- something that is becoming rare amongst
professors at the University.

20. Other comments:

The incident with Rhegan bothered me. It made me uncomfortable and upset that
a student is belittled in front of his peers. Regardless of how he wants to
spend his tuition, his time, and his effort in class is no ones concern
except his. If there was a problem I feel it would have been much more
appropriate to take him on the side and talk to him rather than putting him
on display in front of all of us. After learning about people management I
was surprised to witness that... employees or students- their still people
with feelings...
Other than that i really enjoyed this class.

I am torn between opposing views. Currently this course is mandatory and I think that for University
of Hawaii students it is a wonderful class. I believe that because of this class a higher percentage of
us will actually finish school and get out there in the private sector running a business. However, as
an academic class that supports a TPSS student earning a Bachelor of Science degree it seems
misplaced. In the end this course should not be mandatory, I do think that it still needs to be on the
list of classes for a student to earn his/her agribusiness certificate though.

I really appreciated all the stories that she had with each skill, to show
how the concepts are applied. I also really liked the books that she brought
to class.

Very fun and straight forward course. Content is made to understand easily and to be applied
to everyday life with ease.

I was so lucky to have you as a teacher, thank you for giving me the encouragement to believe in
my aspirations. I will be a great huisnessb owner one day.sf

The plant growing! And the snacks, of course.

26. Which aspects of the course did you like least?

Marathon lecture. We spent upwards of 3 hours at a time in lecture. I wanted more hands on more
problem solving like you might have in the real world as a Nursery Manager. Our lab time was often
a continuation of the lecture with few opportunities to put the information to practical use.

Neutral comments mean the question was not applicable for our class.
The scope of this class was not communicated efficiently. The majority of our lab time was lost and
we spent much more time then needed being growers and less time as nursery managers.
I believe that their needs to be a balance between growing and management.

Thank you for such a great experience! I've really enjoyed the semester.

Didn't learn that much. Wish there was interaction with real-world
businesses/examples, and small exercises on actual business practices, like
accounting, finance, and managing employees.

my suggestions for professor cheah are to allow students more time to work on their projects in
class. The story telling, while interesting, gets a little old after a while. I would suggest she tell a
relevant story, then allow the students to work on the related activity.

She is a fantastic professor, I wish all professors would learn from her! I would strongly recommend
ANYONE taking her class!! She's the most helpful and easy to talk to professor I've had in the three
years I've been at UH. Thank you Dr. Cheah!!!

I do not think this course should be a TPSS requirement. I think an option of taking either this class or the accounting focused class should be allowed if it is necessary. I do not really feel like I have any knowledge of how to start a business or run one or have an understanding of real business terminology or processes. It was more of a feel good class that taught me about creativity in mutating possible business ideas and that profit is important. I personally would rather learn about actual profit and managing numbers. It was an easy class though and entertaining.

Very fun course. If I could redo it, I'd choose to propagate ferns or
something that grows very quickly.

Its unfortunate this class is offered only once every two years as some students will be
unable to take it. The class should be split into two semesters for in depth learning and
upon completion certification should be a possibilty.

learned a lot

It seemed as though understanding of what the instructor varied, but those who had er as an
instructor did better overall because they knew what she wanted in terms of assignments. Her
passion for the topic made it easier to learn from her. Over all a very good course. Everyone
should have a basic biology or chemistry class though it would make the class run more
smoothly.

9. Which aspects of the course were most valuable?

becoming a better people manager.

ORGANIZATION was number one for me! I've found that a lot of the concepts we talked about are all inter-related and comprise a system, and if one component of that system is unbalanced it will throw everything else off balance, as well. Energy management was also a valuable aspect for me, as was the selection of the ideal system of time management.

The overall scope of the class, which was based on practical and applicable knowledge and not completely on theoretical aspects. It was also adapted to the specific needs and interests of the students.

This course was extremely beneficial for me. I have applied the skills and knowledge which I have gained from this course to my career, academics and personal life. I also have helped many other people understand the basics of project and productivity management. I found all of the aspect of the course complement each other to create a well rounded stress free productivity system.

Do not go over time, otherwise the class was a huge success and will be very
helpful moving forward

The course is fine the way it is. If students could do a quick assessment of themselves through an aptitude test to realize their strengths and weaknesses, that would also help them in the future.

I was very impressed at the organization and execution of the entire course. I would not have changed any aspect.

28. Other comments:

This was an amazing course. I would highly recommend it to other students. I feel like the topics covered in this course are essential to academic and personal success, but are rarely discussed in other classes. I plan to practice and build upon the material taught, as I find it extremely valuable. I feel very fortunate that this class was offered to our department and that I was able to participate.

lectures and personal experiences and stories, also powerpoint presentations - thank you for the color

The basics taught on business and the fact that you need to understand them because you will be presenting on them. After a while of presenting you gain confidence and skills.

The visualization was very useful. Also the ability to plan effectively.

The personal anecdotes from the instructor from her real-world experiences were highly informative.

All the real life examples were especially helpful in understanding the business concepts.

Mrs. Cheah developed the course very well to fit the students intrests. It was fun and a great learning tool to develope our business as we learn new business techniques in the class. Her slide shows and use of laulima were also very helpful.

Thinking for yourself instead as a class. The individual learning made it more beneficial for us as students.

The visualization, and reality of buissness owning facts.

Dr. Cheah's personal experience helped to make key concepts understandable. She is reasonable
and always willing to help.

The handouts were very helpful. It was convenient for us students to have
them printed out for us.

Her knowledge of the subject matter is truly staggering and once again, her real-world experience in a field such is this is absolutely invaluable.

She took time out of class to meet with me and my partner, to help us understand and develop a business plan. She even let us borrow a book and video for more ideas.

She was very clear with her concepts and always available for help. She was also very encouraging of peoples business ideas and developed practical examples in class.

Always willing to help outside of class if the help was needed.

33. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

Taught in another classroom...without mosquitos, bugs, and noisy air conditioner...these things do a dis-service to the instructor and students

I think if the slides and class presentation was mixed up a little more it would have been more interesting and exciting. It was both interesting and exciting though.

More field trips :D

More field work would be interesting, though difficult to integrate into the current format of the course.

more class participation and interaction would make the class more interest... ie like a group circle/discussion

Class was held late a few times along with an exam.

Maybe more class discussions. It was good to hear from other students about their ideas.

More stucture given to students while deciding their business. less powerpoints.

I do not believe there is a need for all the printed powerpoints. Just as long as its online, students
are fine. I do not have any other suggestions as far as that goes.

34. Other comments:

Thanks for everything. I've learned a lot of useful information from your
class.

Awesome class.

Thank you so much Dr. Cheah for being generous with your time and taking time out or your busy schedule to meet with us.
Also, I probably will never go into business but i learned so much useful information that i will be passing on to my father. Your enthusiasm and knowledge on the subjst really made the class a pleasure to attend.
And of course, thanks again for taking us out for dim sum!

This was a great class and I learned a lot.

Great class, really enjoyed making my business and seeing other class mates businesses.

I enjoyed working with a partner all semester as a business owner and production manager.

This was a very good course. Not entirely what I expected going in, but it
proved to be valuable. Gave me more of business sense than what a lot of the
other TPSS courses have offered in the past--hey, we all have to make some
money someday.

field trips, class at the green house with nursery activities

Big island trip.
Her enthusiasm and sense of humor when presenting
Hands on learning in nursery production

Real-world experience -- the plant sale. Being able to attempt to conduct a real sale, with real business attributes and outcomes.

The sales experience

I loved the fact that at the end of the semester you were able to make a profit based on how well you researched your product as well as how hard you worked on your project.

Creating my own business and taking risks to do so.

One suggestion--order the plants earlier

Great teacher w/ good charisma.

I wish the course was a bit longer so you could have more time to prep your finished product. But otherwise I thought it was an insightful learning experience.

11. What things did you get from this course that will benefit you personally?

The knowledge of how much it takes to come up with a successful business plan.

knowing how businesses operate is very useful, even if i will not be owning one or working for one in the future

Great extensive knoledge on the subjects. Personal one to one contultation

The list could really go on forever, the personal knowledge and first hand experience that we are fortunate enough to hear about on a regular basis was key in the learning. Personal experience is something that cannot be taught, having an insider look was great.

I have learned a lot about the way that a business is run. I also learned how to work more
effectively as a team.

24. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

Her real life experience in the business world.

she is always willing to devote time to one on one help, and she also knows the students well and is really caring about their needs

Happy

Her openness and ability to share the personal experiences that has brought her to where she is today. Having the material in front of you at all times is nice. lots of paper though..

her life experiences, she was able to give a lot of hands on examles which were helpful.

Her willingness to spend extra time to explain and develop concepts and specific concerns from class.

35. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

real world scenario

The first hand stories of the real life business world. stories stimulate the brain and allow you to really think about what you are learning.

no exams, just a project. She lets us vote on things that effected the entire class.

Teaching style

36. Which aspects of the course did you like least?

group project with not enough in-class time to work on it

It seemed like there was an overabundance of paper being used in the class, although it may be beneficial to us, the environment may not be as happy.

ta didnt really do anything with our class, maybe the ta coud meet with the groups on an individual
basis to make sure that everyone has their things together and fully understand the jobs that we are
assigned.

38. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

plan for significant in-class time for the group projects. if the grade for the class is going to be based on one big thing, then that one big thing must have ample time allotted to it during class time. provide time evenly spaced throughout semester for this.

This course could not be improved.

39. Other comments:

it is extremely difficult to coordinate 4-5 busy students to work on a huge group project outside of class. otherwise, an excellent course with an excellent teacher.

Thank you very much for the time you took to prep and lecture for this class, not to mention the out of class time. The stories are great and I am excited to see the new and innovative ideas to come! Mahalo

Dr. Cheah was an awesome teacher. she really cares about if the students are learning and
understaning the context of the lecture. She really wants us to learn, which is necessary of a
teacher
